Our Acoustic 8 Series evokes a sense of Bob Taylor’s early guitars, built as non-cutaways and with clean appointments that include ivoroid binding, abalone dots and no pickguard. Whether you’re craving a traditional Dreadnought or a fingerstyle-friendly Grand Concert, the rosewood/Sitka spruce pairing will conjure a full, articulate range of acoustic tone.

The pairing of rosewood with a warm, responsive cedar top on our Acoustic 7 Series will reward fingerstylists and light to medium strummers with rich tone and sustain. The Dreadnought features an Engelmann spruce top to handle a heavier attack, blending a crisp response with midrange warmth. Traditional styling includes ivoroid binding, abalone dot inlays, and an abalone rosette.

Maple/spruce guitars are a popular wood pairing among stage and studio players who want clean, articulate tone that cuts through a mix. Our Acoustic 6 models can yield a punchy response for aggressive rhythm players and bright, clear treble notes if you like to solo up the neck. If you want a little more low-end warmth with your maple, try the GS6. Visually, standard model options include different grades of maple flame or quilt figure and a variety of vibrant color finishes.
